Abstract: A system for conveying persons has a track along which a plurality of vehicles may be moved by way of continuous conveying cables. The cables include at least two mutually successive conveying cables each having a drive for driving them independently of one another. The vehicles may be coupled to the cables by clamping devices and the cables overlap one another in mutually associated end regions. The coupling of the vehicles may be transferred from a first conveying cable to a successive conveying cable in the overlap region. In those regions in which a first conveying cable is adjoined by a further conveying cable, that is, in the overlap region, at least one servo device is provided which allows the cable run of the further conveying cable to which the vehicle is to be coupled to be moved into the clamping device of the vehicle, while the clamping device is in the open position.

Abstract: Methods (200, 300), apparatuses and systems (100) for determining minority carrier diffusion lengths in a semi-conductor structure (130), which may be a solar cell or a unprocessed or partially processed silicon sample, are disclosed. The luminescence (140) may comprise photoluminescence, electroluminescence, or both. Luminescence (140) is excited (212) in the structure (130), and the intensities of short- and long-wavelength luminescence (140) are measured (214). Luminescence intensities may be captured from either side of the sample using a single photodetector, a FPA, a CCD array (150), or a mapping tool. The luminescence (140) excited in the structure (130) may be filtered (160) at short and long cutoff wavelengths. Diffusion lengths of the structure (130) are generated (216) using a predefined theoretical relationship.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layer decoupling system, in particular for the laying of ceramic paving according to a thin-bed method. Said system comprises a layered construction containing, from the base upwards, an anchoring fleece made of non-woven material, an anchorage layer that is configured from a lattice-type structural element and that is used to hold a filler material, which is to be incorporated into the upper face of the decoupling system and which is plastic during processing and subsequently cures, in addition to a reinforcement layer, which is fixed, at least in some sections, to the anchorage layer. This improves the load-bearing capacity of the decoupling system and the bonding properties of ceramic paving that is laid in a conventional manner on the decoupling system.

Abstract: A memory is encoded with data that represents a reference IC design, a retimed IC design, and logical relationships, wherein at least one logical relationship describes combinational logic without reference to structural information, such as actual cells that have been instantiated in the IC designs. The logical relationships are used to instantiate logic described therein, and to define one or more black boxes as being functionally inverse of the logic. Each instantiated logic and its functionally inverse black box are thereafter added to the reference IC design to obtain a transformed reference IC design. A transformed retimed IC design is also obtained by addition of the instantiated logic(s) and functionally inverse black box(es) to the retimed IC design. These two transformed IC designs are then supplied to an equivalence checker, for formal verification.

Abstract: A printing system is used for printing newspapers or for job printing and includes a web-fed press, including an unreeling stand, and one or more printing units for printing a web that is unrolled from a roll at the unreeling stand. A re-rolling stand may be used to wind up the web, after it has passed through the printing units. A separating device forms a second part of the printing system and includes an unreeling stand which can receive a roll of a printed web. The printed web can be unrolled and can be directed to a subassembly from this re-rolling stand. In the subassembly, the further processing of the web can take place at a different time and place, and at a different speed than the original printing of the web.
